Warnings you received
You were warned here [1] and here [2]. I make no comment on whether there warnings had merit but they establish you were warned so it's silly to claim something which anyone can see is untrue. And such claims also doesn't reflect well on you as an editor regardless of the merits of the warnings.
In addition, while technically you're right the first warning was slightly less than 2 month ago, your claim your account is less than 2 months old isn't true. Your account was created at 02:52, 1 August 2016 (UTC) [3] and your first edit was [4] at 03:02, 1 August 2016 (UTC). Your comment claiming your account didn't exist 2 months ago was left at 07:18, 1 October 2016 (UTC) [5] while my comment [6] at 07:07, 1 October 2016 (UTC). Under most normal definitions of a month, this is slightly more than 2 months ago. Even if your going by your local timezone and this has experiences DST changes, this won't affect the time difference by more than 2 hours. So however you spin it, it's very slightly more than 2 months that your account was created at the time of any relevant comments.
By itself this is no big deal, but as someone who is pedantic themselves I can tell you it's important to be right if you're going to be pedantic. Furthermore, if you're trying to defend yourself, it's normally advisable to make clear you're being pedantic rather than leading people to believe you're fundamentally disputing what was said (which I presume you were anyway since you also said point blank you were never warned). If you weren't tryign to be pedantic, this shows why you should take care when saying something definitive. If you're not sure you are right, you should either not make the claim or mention uncertainty. (If you are sure you're right but aren't, this shows why you need to take care.)

- @Nil Einne pedantic? I am telling an editor that something written quotes should not be taken literally. TouristerMan (talk) 15:01, 1 October 2016 (UTC)
